This beautiful, dark, analogue electronic soundtrack by John Foxx And The Maths is described as ‘eerie’, ‘evocative’ and ‘a triumphant score of chest-crushing anxiety’ by The Independent and The Guardian. John Foxx and Benge’s set of dystopian science-fiction themes were first heard in the critically acclaimed stage play of E.M. Forster’s ‘The Machine Stops’ in 2016. This album also features new mixes created especially for The Machine. Abstract, atmospheric vocals by John Foxx and Elizabeth Bernholz (Gazelle Twin). Artwork is by Jonathan Barnbrook.

Hannah Peel, who was responsible for Electronic Sound’s Album Of The Year 2016, has recorded a duet with John Foxx which is available as part of the digital release of the single ‘Hope Lasts’ which is due for release on April 7th.

Peel recorded a cover of John Foxx’s ‘Tidal Wave’ for a vinyl project and the electronic innovator has returned the compliment by singing on her cover of ‘Cars In The Garden’ – originally composed by Paul Buchanan from The Blue Nile. The track is included in the digital release of the new ‘Hope Lasts’ single. from the new album Awake But Always Dreaming.
